Our homepage looks different today. Here's why

We have reduced the depth of the sections below the top news module. This is intended to speed up reading comprehension on the page, fix a problem we had with oversized photos creating large areas of white space and pushing the content down, and to allow more – though not all – sections to be included.

We also wanted to have a page that is not as deep, as we know readers rarely make it to the bottom of really long pages.
